NEED MORE INFORMATION?
It is important to note that not all courier companies will ship perfumes internationally. For example, DHL, DPD and UPS will not ship parcels that contain perfume within the content.
Most postal services have restrictions on sending perfume due to its alcohol content and flammable properties. For example, when sending perfume with Royal Mail or USPS, fragrances containing alcohol may not be shipped internationally or mailed domestically using air transport.
Unfortunately, it is unsafe to send perfume and other flammable liquids internationally using air transport, such as the Priority Express Service. This includes air transport from Europe to the USA or on any other international route.
The best way to ship perfume via courier is through our Standard Service. If you are shipping perfume within the EU borders, your parcel will not need to go through customs clearance before delivery.
For businesses: Although shipping after Brexit is now more complicated than before, it is still possible for companies to send perfume abroad from the UK.
Even though most Eurosender services include basic insurance for free, parcels that include perfume or other restricted items are not covered.
